MSU to host Family Science Night at SUB
From MSU News Service
Families and members of the public are invited to Montana State University for Family Science Night, a free evening of educational activities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The event, which aims to help both kids and adults learn more about science in a fun and easy-to-understand format, will be held from 5 to 7pm Thursday, February 27th, in the Strand Union Building ballrooms. At the event, MSU students and faculty will showcase their research through educational hands-on activities and a variety of engaging demonstrations and experiments. Visitors can stop in at any time, take part in dozens of free activities and circulate at their own pace. All ages are welcome; children must be accompanied by an adult.
Topics explored at the event in previous years have ranged from extreme gravity physics to microbiology to nanotechnology, a field in which scientists and engineers study and manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular scale to develop disease fighting drugs, alternative energy solutions, ultra-strong sports equipment and many other applications.
MSU Family Science Day is hosted by MSU Academic Technology and Outreach with support from Montana NSF EPSCoR and the Montana Nanotechnology Facility. For more information, visit ato.montana.edu/familyscience. •
